no it doesnt
well it does say to favor ignore pain when its only magical damage
@modern brook Talking about tanking mage on jadefire
of course you should spam IP for that
๐
but why am i takin so much dmg for god sake
let me be mad sad wtf
it makes me so mad to not be able to tank 4 attendant in shrine of the storm
@woven trellis Good thing you're playing a rage tank
Hello ! Is there a way to see if the spell reflection shield has worked after we cast it ? (except the sound) Thx.
Because you're not kicking as a group or lining
what do you mean sadbox
Get a WA
^
@woven trellis "it makes me so mad"
it was a joke
anyhow, prot warrior isn't great about magic damage and control, so you got to rely on your group to help with those
kicks, displacements, LoS/stuns on your side
@prime sundial looks like that
You can also check Enemy damage taken for the ability that you reflected
You could also check buff uptime for when it gets cut short
in my ingame "journal" ?
4 attendants is a ridiculous pull
thats wow logs
Pull 2 at a time with spiritualists/templars or be prepared to constantly los
If ur checking the what happened to me combat log U're better off going by the noise, tbh
If ur checking the Qu'sst-ce qui m'est arrive? combat log, you're better off going by the noise, tbh
yeah sure
in your opinion is it possible to create an aura that says : "OK you reflected ir :D"
im trying to understand how can people know which spell is reflectable or not
@honest frigate 4 attendant never felt rly hard on my BDK, thats why i understimated them with the warrior
#268491842637660160 @prime sundial
there's a spreadsheet of them
Also, experience
yeah i saw the spreadsheet but how was it made ? ๐ that's make me curious.
BDK handles magic damage much better than warrior. Gotta recognize the strengths of your class and the weaknesses and adapt!
Pretty sure Marok made a Weak Aura for all BFA dungeons that shows you every single reflectable spell.
theres also a very solid magic damage essence coming out so
Yea. It's in the pins.
yep i've installed spell reflection tracker of marok but atm it's not working on my ui
ah okes. Sorry man. Can't help you troubleshoot it. I dont use it myself.
np ๐
@outer dew I like my reflect WA
Until I do 2s and forget to turn it off
And battlefield focus takes up 75% of my fucking screen
@prime sundial i test everything as early as possible / log it / check after to see whats blockable and reflectable
Hello all, going mythic blockade first time, any tips for prot?
Use armor.
I wish I was that far along to have any good input. ;p
My guild is currently arguing over whether or not we should extend to try to get mekka.
@woven trellis you gotta interrupt water bolts or you will flat out die
tanking 2 is np in fort
tanking 4 is suicide
in fort
if you're having problems with this week
all i can tell you is use IP + Demo and Wall accordingly
and of course SR any non-interrupted and shockwave
So many pulls in so many dungeons are really all about the interrupts/stuns/disorients/etc. in your group rather than your actual personal survival kit.
water bolts in Shrine, 1st boss room in KR, these things have to be interrupted
or LoS'd
or stunned
you have tools to make it work but you can't just flat out pull the entire thing for those particular packs
(in fortified weeks)
you will get deleted
Had a group in shrine with 3 DHs the other day who were in voice + really active about coordinating interrupts + stuns and I think I took like 20% of the damage on those big attendant pulls that I have with some other ones.
Was like interrupt x4 -> stun -> stun -> interrupt x4 -> stun -> fear -> interrupt x4 etc
yeah, but im at some spot where its easier to do +16 or 17 in guild than chilly 12s in pick up
thats depressing
sometimes i want to chill in a lower key and people make it harder than 17+
especially NOT on fort week
this morning
It absolutely is though. A group ignoring mechanics adds a lot more difficulty than +5 key levels
use demo
dunno what you're doing then
i died
pretty clear that the interrupt meters probably looked blank
even on tyran multiple casters getting nukes off nonstop there will melt you
or to stun
In fairness, the 4 pull is pretty early on in the dungeon
you can't always smell the fail yet
actually i adapt very well to bug, but when its beginning of dungeon like attendants, i have to test them
but the 2 pack after first room i can handle interrupts and stun myself
they get down very fast
^^
I guess the takeaway is use that 2 pull as a test to see if your DPS can handle a 4
that's what i meant
by not doing all the interrupts yourself
its a pug, you should be prepared
oh im always prepared, i have box of tissue and sad music close to me
in every pug i tend to pull small at the start
Gotta have "how could this happen to meeee" queued up and ready
All I know is in 18-19 keys I do if a kick is missed Iโm in for a bad time
and go bigger as time goes on to see what the group can handle
I always tell mt dps their interrupts are now mine
like on non fort and pugs i double pull at the start
u right nimchip i do that, im actually always yelling at my dd friend whos always askin for bigger pulls even when the rest of the pug does shit, and i say no to him 25 time then i concede to his demand, and we wipe
@woven trellis 16s, 17s in guild? i dont trust those fuckers to do their weekly 10 ^.^
lol
to be fair we have a guild core at 2k rio so thats alright
not awesome but good enough for mythic raiders
eyyy
i am so lost this week on pulls
with the bolstering affix
pulls seem so hard
and easy to bolster...
any teams from the community?
i am trying to do siege and it's such a mess
tips i mean
good for you mate, lean meat
eh
what
someone might be scrolled up
so bolster is easy to manage if dps knows what to do
as a rule of thumb with pugs though
know what mobs have higher hp pools
pull those mobs by themselves if able or cc around them
Yeah, just use it when Shield Block is down ๐
you can double pull when that particular mob is at 60% ish
like for example horses in Siege
giants in FH
just gotta know what dies fast, what dies normally, and what dies slower in comparison
CC is your friend, so don't be afraid to ask your team to do it
get that one bolstering wa, just 4dummies marks the highest health target
honestly if youre dumb enough to not look at nameplates
you're not gonna look at symbols
so i just keep my caster marker
๐
the only big problems with bolster are the non elites that still bolster for no fucking reason
ie: dogs in waycrest
eh that's easy to manage
i forgot to tell the dh he's not supposed to tank the matron though
cause drunk usually taunts from africa and runs away in bear form
so that was awkward
was funny though lol
i mean he should've nethered tbh
And i define big problem as anything that requires deviating from the norm due to affix
today sad day
thing is you can easily cc the witch, and pull all the doggies except for the matron ones
why are you a warrior again willow?
๐คท
i wouldnt do that usually nim :^)
that's not why sad day : (
to thrall?
i would, theyre not mini raptors from hell
๐
why would i come to thrall..
๐คท so you can gib me money :^)
So why the swap though
parses
Ur in the wrong class to parse man
what do you mean
If I was tryin to parse Iโd play a class like warlock
parses are class specific though
why would you play a harder class to try and parse
that makes 0 sense
i really want to
(or outlaw)
so? its an easy spec
outlaw parse is like 90% RTB rng though
hell no its not
fury is def easier than outlaw
outlaw has 5% variance
and even then the data is skewed because of the existence of 5 buff rolls
so like
if u pretend 5s dont exist
your variance is lower than fire mage
but still 5%
I'll put money on the difference between 94% and 100% parse is >5%
difference between 95 and 100 is strat
More like between 90-100 is strat
parsing orange is pug level
how is spamming Sinister, then BTEing on RP hard?
grong? GL being orange on cleave classes while alliance
i just dont understand
Imagine being able to cleave raptors on conclave
But alliance mages literally get to go cleave talent spec while horde mages dont
Due to the different shape of the arena
wat
no
@steel mauve literally the opposite of what you just said
More often than not the ghosts are too spread for splitting ice or melee cleave
not a problem for horde
bots are always close enough
real gold parses just use the orb forehead
Mage discord recommends ally mages to go splitting ice and horde not to
Hrmm - any thoughts on best tank for zaxasj the speaker in CoS?
Also for the memes, any chance we could tank it with heroic throws spams
thats the ranged tank one right? prob aff lock
tanky, self-sustain, high ST, and good dmg during mobility in the fight
Yeah, I mean lock is a good bet. But then you have to have a lock.... I do just thinking conceptually If I could do it down the road lol
does throw still generate extra threat? lol
you need a ranged tank? say no more fam i got you covered
grab your coffee
this is gonna be good
yah. does a spooky 5 yard aoe that mcs fuckers
is everyone sitting tight?
well, hostiles ppl
get this
Hi
V DH
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
gotcha fam
But then you have to have a VDH
โ
โ
just get your worst havoc to go veng
wouldnt you just take a tankadin instead?
๐ฆ
VDH Pog next patch maybe ๐
:doubt:
(X)
you don't use bte if you have a ds proc
you don't spam sinister if you have low energy
you don't roll for buffs during aoe at all
What about max range thunder clap?โ / heroic throw
thats racist against the carpal tunneled. some people need to be havoc
apm does not make the spec hard by any means
frost? arms? whats the lowest apm atm idk
probably some caster
except if we are stepping into like 120-130 cpm territory
arms is super low apm
I think lowest apm is frost dk
yeah
oof
I didn't play it but something tells me that focused rage was fun
prot at highest! many tclap
hey is jaina ice shard considered melee attacks
i have carpal tunnel
no right?
yeah. you can block and dodge it @elfin plume
'i know you can block it
but does shield block efffect it'
how else would you be able to block it
shield block only affects meelee
no
it just increases your block by 100%
it can also block stuff like "shoot" and "throw rock" now
so, ranged physical attacks
one of those silly tooltip derps. cuz this is basically the first 'at range casted melee' ability
just a bit ambiguous, melee attacks means more than just auto attacks
You should never trust Blizzard tooltips implicitly. They should all be taken with a grain of salt.
like that maghar racial? lol
consistency ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
that you can block a frostbolt
ice shard isn't even magic
@steel mauve I just went through mage discord and you're full of shit
block as melee
sorry not sorry lol
it happened for balance
I also went through wcl
its cause mage discord usually has guides on the altered time site
quote the drama so that i can see
LOL
so that we all can see
I think that is when somebody said that alliance mages can run cleave build on grong
because of better arena
correct?
ghosts have a bigger hit box but they're non-corpreal so u cant hit them outside of a smaller hit box that is smaller than a robots hitbox
this is the theory crafting i come here for
Hey guys, how bad is the one hand axe from waycrest? The one with the proc instead of stats
bad enough that when ppl say "should i take it or drop ilvl for other statt'd option" we go "oof im sorry to hear that you have to use that one hand axe from waycrest"
prot whores out for stats
offensive option: that axe
defensive option: literally anything with stats
no
ya
no
git gud
I'm also on the no train, but i havent ran numbers on it
the dot is pretty whatever compared to stats
maybe
fuck no
there are worse things than being the prot tc
lala just thunderclaps
like being an 800-to-900-year-old building currently on fire
I legit read prottc as "prot thunderclap"
hmmm
๐ nice nim
like a METT-TC
nimchip burnt down notre dame
My girlfriend was watching a video where a newscaster was talking about the entire roof being on fire. I think you can all guess what I started singing without thinking.
hey man
he admited it
the Bells of Notre Dame song a lil too lit
we didn't start the fire?
Haha, no but that's a good guess
I started singing "The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire"
the roof the roof the roof is on fire
@modern brook teach me prot : )
i mean there are a lot of ways a fire can start when doing renovations
๐
seee? he admittedit
Oof
jesus christ
wow
@sick sentinel read the guidE :^)
I mean, you are the cook
but I didn't expect you to fuck it up that much
it was a beautiful building though, it's a shame
if you don't deplete you will never learn
U just pull too much and press tc and make ur healer think ur an idiot
^ ask kaege
kage
I'm ass at prot
hey man
^
why you talking shit about kaege
Yeah fuck u nim
don't talk about kage like that
why you talking shit about bull
hmm
this is getting heated
you're from the south too huh
when u tilt on terraria bc the world is too big and u leave the game
oh weep I forgot to tell you
i swear to god i meant to say bull, bull
when you left
Dude i suck shit
F
so is our world dead
so I can't guarantee if it's alive or not
it's ok we should start a new one anyway to be honest
My general strategy for Wow playing is lips directly on butthole -> inhale as hard as i can
hmm
hmm
i just... hmm
i concur
๐ค
Butts are unisexual, tbh
This is a weird conversation
do not have buttholes

๐ฎ
I mean they dont
That we can agree on Mwahi
they don't tho
@sick sentinel we should make a medium world
I think #protection needs an adult

can we discuss the best wallpaper in the world though
even though i kind of like how mine is rn
Lala can you stop slacking
can we not talk about terraria in prot tho
Help me level my NA account :^)
butthole discussion more important to you?
๐ ๐ช
it pertains to wow tho
ignoredchip
@oblique garnet are you coming over here?
gotta level up that warrior
Mby mby
you fucked up
@lusty grotto I was thinking of making thunderclap my screensaver as well
i agree
timewalking was prime time to level
and i agree with kaege also
I got my mage to 120
Dont do it man
imagine that! After endgame
weep comes back and types and prot ends up talking about buttholes and notre dame
smh
Freehold boost is everyday :)
i dont even know what is gonna happen after endgame
LOL
im not tracking that far enough
imagine blaming weep for prot being off topic
@pulsar canopy blame bullfango dude
100%
imagine white knighting weep
Wow bold face lie

i dont do shit in raven holdt
can you spell reflect any cyclone strike @vernal fossilis and aspix or are there any rules i need to look out for?
wait i thought ravenholdt was just silent time cause we're all in stealth
@leaden grail you cant spell reflect yours
and your ranged kick should be getting the jolts before them
and if you wanna play it safe reflect the second one not the first one
the rules should be in the guide @leaden grail
because if you do the first one then you might get jolted as well
and reflect the jolt instead
whereas when he is casting the second one the other guy is casting the aoe
have a ranged interrupt jolt when strike is coming out
i didnt know there was a guide for that, sorry. thanks for the info
here you go https://goo.gl/Tb49B3
seemed way too specific knowledge to be covered by the usual kind of guide i see

The trinket seems cool
last boss drops 425
Rest is quite underwhelming
trinket is cool AF
that mastery one during 3xbom gonna basically be crit block cap right?
healer is healing anyway
Ah ye grievous... Doesn't exist for shamans luckily
pop SLT, everyone gets grevious ๐ฅ
LOL
Na, if they have 3x spouting it tops group instantly
Funnily
And 9/10 it's used to heal group instead of tank
Shaman is just a meme since legion
Reso always good in raid though
@tawdry hazel ask here
I'm helpful
Like bolstering try to kill stuff close to gether
7 stacks isnt deadly but 4 stacks ticking twice and becoming 5 is
(numbers made up to prove point)
โค thanks guys
bursting on the tank end of things begins and ends with your pulls so make sure you have a plan. Otherwise its mostly about killing things together, and your healer pumping correctly
Bros how is prot pally discord so dead compared to this one, I only joined 2 days ago to check some stuff cuz I'm slowly getting into other tanks
Because this discord goes offtopic alot
Because FotM
because of the power of memes
Like theres always conversation here, so when ppl ask questsions some ones here tor ead it and answer
Unlike prot pally?
fotm just makes us complaing about answering stupid questions
about that leech
So like the entirety of beta and 8.0
best period of warr discord in bfa
So nothing has changed
one screen worth of time stamps
was between 8.1 and the release of the raid
Oof
๐คท
I'm remember spending hours and hours in this channel on beta
honestly fuck method
Good Times
I hate the hard switch from 8.0 to 8.1 in terms of popularity
I'm still triggered by it
From being told "lol wtf you are playing trahs tank" to "op nerf plx" only because retards noticed we are actually good
Sooo triggering
and I was like "I will try to singlehandedly change your opinion on prot warriors"
How big of a hit is the 50% reduction to Unstoppable Force likely to be in terms of actual dps numbers? Has anyone crunched it out yet?
yes

gah! Pins, mb!
I forget how fast the docs get updated around here.
So long as I can still make my DK co-tank spit angry Disc venom at me on raid trash, I'm good with it. ๐
You will
-laughs in leech warrior-
dk cotank? means you get to tank stormwall and he has to run around ^.^
405 Ramping gigavolt engine, vs 410 Butchers, vs 400 Rezans eye what is ideal combo in ur opinions? sims arent helping me
Just out of curiosity, why aren't sims helping for DPS? ๐ค
Hard to sim tank dmg
Yeah I guess he was asking about defensiveness
It's not any harder to sim tank damage than anyone else's damage
Our Sims are pretty good right now thanks to mwahi
Based
๐ blessed be mwahi
But for a trinket comparison, there should be no problem. They'd be equidistant from each other regardless of rage intake.
im asking about in general more towards offensive output with defensive in mind also.
THe reason the sims arent helping is because i get different results when i sim dungeon slice vs hectic add cleave vs single target
I'd be interesting to see how that works in the APL
Eh. Parry revenge procs from crit over haste = rage = cdr
Hard to figure that out imo
^
I was telling precision
If you want a balance, haste is your best bet btw @red bloom since haste is our best offensive and defensive secondary.
People are preaching crit a lot in here but haste is ahead by a mile in every sim I've been able to run
RAGE and rezan are both haste though
the thing with crit
Rage is on-use, Rezan is a proc. No reason you can't use both.
Nobody is preaching crit, its a dps stat yes but haste is still best stat
is that it's a lot better when you are getting hit by a lot of targets
Also it depends on what he's gonna use it for m+ or raids
Sounds like he wanted something kind of overall, considering he was running every sim type he could
I'd still use 410 butchers over rezans, because of ilvl and cuz feelycraft
M+
I do see Kaege's point, but a crit proc is not a solid choice for defense/hybrid imo. Defensive procs in general are less preferred; a defensive proc that is also an RNG defensive stat would be even worse from a defensive perspective.
Running double haste trinkets feels off, I could do same with rage+rezans but I'm using diamond+rage cuz diamond op
why do that when u can wear a 410 rezan socketed with leech
and there it is
FML with this leech shit.
If you want defensive trinkets go take diamond, that's the only defensive trinket in bfa so far
Anything else isn't really picked for defensive values imo
Didn't even socket leech...
fuck
That's not the argument though. He wants a hybrid setup; those were the choices he gave. I just gave my opinion on it based on those parameters.
That's what I said "really"
im a scrub i didnt think about the socket leech
Smh
sic em thyme
I would go with rage+block
lmao
to PUMP
do i run 420 RAGE trinket or 400 socketed butchers block?
Lamo
What is happening btw?
Oh lawd

Is that a real question shpicey I can't tell
Isn't that the druid admin? lol

Yea
I love you eyir
Why not both
feet are for weirdos tbh
Ur right
They are
Especially if ur talking about the zandalari female troll feet
Especially those
Specifically u might say
spell reflect on cool down tanking Jaina yeah?
ehm... not really?
Does it not reflect shard?
you block the shard
with shield block
At most ud use SR to reduce damage from the dot
yeah but you can dip in fire to reset dot in the boat
and you have barrels for p2
Yea in boat everyone should be tap dancing the fire to remove the dot and not trigger the damage
But in the event at least for p1 if there is no fire, u can use SR but I would save until AFTER the co-tank taunts off
So ur reducing the ticking damage at it's highest and not it's lowest
yeah just checking a log and the person used spell reflect 0 times and shield blocked 17 times throughout the whole fight.
Yeah SR is just to help reduce the ticking the damage and for P3 at best
how long was this fight duration
9 mins was our first kill so hella slow
also could you check block on damage taken from shards?
click damage taken
select the warrior tank
hover mouse over shard hits
Good grief. Prot spams Devastate like a machine at low levels. I had forgotten that.
Keep in mind I'm saying this because how many shield blocks he casted doesn't say a lot, since last stand with bolster blocks as well
Is that over hits?
mouse over hits
43% blocked 7 absorbed
40.7% of ice shards ๐ฌ
Hella low
Er, 40.5
that's bad
Yeah, Just making sure there's a problem before I bring it up.
Any quick fixes I can give to him?
Use Shield Block more
^
Fill gaps with Last Stand (Bolster talent)
also pretty sure you can use SR to reduce the damage from the giga blast that should get thrown to narnia
Appreciate it thanks lads.
405 with haste socket jes howlers or a 400 rezans?
How many times did he Last stand?
I guess it's low considering that %
Rezan @urban briar
hes
ty sir
What's your other trinket
dude it has a hole
looking at my logs for jaina i blocked 75%
i dont think that is good prolly can do better
410 gore-crusted blocker
